Message from Interim Dean Donald Stengel

Welcome to the Craig School of Business at California State University, Fresno. All
of our business programs are accredited by the prestigious AACSB International, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business and recognized by the Princeton Review as a top business program, we are justifiably
proud of the achievements of our students, faculty and staff. We are fortunate to
have a vested interest from donors who provide private support to enhance the educational
experiences for our students. Further, we are proud to offer opportunities for our
alumni to stay engaged and connected with their alma mater.

At the Craig School, we emphasize the importance of student engagement in valuable
experiences both in and out of the classroom. Thus, not only do we offer high quality
business courses, we also offer opportunities to engage in many experiences outside
the classroom. Our International Business Program has both a summer abroad program and semester long exchanges with nearly twenty international
universities. We have an award-winning Internship Program to provide access for students to gain valuable practical experience. Interns learn
to apply their knowledge in real world settings while employers learn the value of
mentoring and benefit from the ability to hire great employees. A service learning
component engages students in community service, something we think is not only valuable
but also an important link with the community. Finally, the Craig School has many
very active, professional clubs and organizations where students form lifetime friendships
and network with professionals from their fields.

The Craig School also offers many scholarship opportunities including the prestigious four-year Craig Scholarships for incoming
freshmen and the Fresno Merchants Association Scholarships for both graduate students
and incoming freshmen. We also award over 100 scholarships annually for continuing
business students.

In the Craig School of Business we value and honor our sister schools and colleges,
along with the many student activities on campus; because of them our students receive
an enhanced experience by being part of the larger university environment. Whether
it's exploring theater, art or music, seeking to leverage a business education into
the medical field, attending a NCAA Division 1 athletic event at an on-campus stadium,
watching a concert at the on-campus Save Mart Center, enjoying a play at the University
Theater, or competing in intramural sports, the University is alive with events which
round out the college experience. Additionally, our Valley location lends itself to
quick trips to our gorgeous mountains (3 national parks within 1 – 1½ hours) and our
refreshing central coast (about 2 ½ hours).

The sum of what the Craig School offers is an engaging, challenging and rewarding
college experience for students who seek the opportunity to earn more than just a
business degree. Thank you for your interest and for visiting our website.
